The world Sarah inhabits is dark and criminal, with lots of duplicitous behavior.
Sarah is nearly always in some type of danger, either physical peril or the threat of discovery. A woman steps in front of a train and we see blood spray; another is shot in the head and blood and gore smear a car seat.
Women are frequently shown in lingerie or other skimpy outfits; during one sex scene we see bared buttocks and thrusting, as well as a side view of breasts. Two men pull their pants back on after an offscreen "hay roll."
"S--t!" exclaims Sarah frequently in difficult moments; one character is called a "little dick," another is called a "bitch."
Many scenes take place in bars with characters ordering drinks (no one acts drunk), there are references to doing cocaine as well as selling it for money, one character runs his fingers over his teeth as if he'd been snorting cocaine.
